Rift looked to Jace, "But...I thought we were all going together..." she muttered, looking down to the ground. She looked at Luke who'd fallen, offering her hand to help him up before he stood himself. "The...order?"

"Good grief...now we practically HAVE to tell them!" Mara said, fiddling with the steeli in her pocket. She looked at Luke, "I didn't mean to smack you so hard, it was just...a love tap," she said, then turned back to the rest.

Jace seemed stunned. "Hey, I'm not spilling, but I'll tell them later.", Luke said.

"Fine then, but you really shouldn't offer to tell people when you aren't gonna do it," Mara teased, pulling her hand from her pocket.

Rift looked over to Jace, then leaned against the counter. "What?"

Jace was merely studying the blonde. "A-Azaraiah?", he asked, with Luke in shock. "No no no, that's certainly not my name, enlighten me?", Luke asked Jace. "When I was young, my parents told me that there was always an angel watching over me, they told me his name was Azaraiah, and that he was young too.", Jace said, with Luke remaining quiet. "You remind me of him, Azaraiah, an inability to lie about things.", Jace stated.

Mara snickered a bit. Such a contradiction. "Oh Azi, maybe he remembers more than we gave him credit for," she said, walking over and getting a water bottle out. Rift merely looked over to Jace, utterly confused. Whatever is going on...can't it wait until we're out of here safely? she wondered, looking to the ceiling.

"Yeah, I guess that. I thought when the Dekards took you, they'd keep you safe, they told my father not to worry, but don't worry Jason, I'll get you and her out, and find Derek.", Luke said, walking over and hugging Jace. Jace seemed to be truely happy after the two broke apart. "Now, I'm assuming you've spread the word about leaving, so we're going now.", Luke said, his tone firm.

"But I'm sure there's still more kids we haven't alerted..." Rift said, stepping forward. "That's why I was going around, to alert them all." She didn't really know what was going on, but her mind was elsewhere.

"Well, me and Mara will give you until midnight, then we leave.", Luke said. Jace seemed to stay beside Luke. "And dont' call me by my birth name, Azaraiah, I'm Luke.", he said, Jace nodding. Jace looked at Rift. "Can you...finish telling everyone, I'm going to go out back and see if I can find Derek.", Jace said. Luke grabbed his shoulder, and firmly shook his head no. "No.", he said, with Jace pouting.

"Why don't you help alert everyone too?" Rift asked, looking to Luke and Mara. Mara simply shrugged. She looked at Luke, who didn't approve of Jace leaving. "What about me? I'm his girlfriend. I should be able to go and find him!"

"It's too dangeroud outside.", Luke said. Jace seemed to pout. "I know your only 14 Jason, but she, is perfectly capable of searching for Derek.", Luke said, pointing at Rift. "Obviously Derek's been playing a lot with her, if anyone can find him, it's her, because he'll smell her scent and panic, typically speaking as a werewolf.", Luke said. "Incase he transformed, I suggest you sneak into his room and grab a few sets of clothing for Derek, after all, he cant' go out in public nude.", Luke said. "Mara can go with you, but Jace stays with me.", Luke said.

"Why don't you go with her?" Mara asked, not really wanting to go out searching for werewolves in the dark. "I'll stay here with Jace and alert the others," she said, nudging her brother.

"I don't care either way, I'll go find him..." Rift said, walking off to Derek's room to grab some clothing for him.

Jace seemed worried about Rift, but he was clinging to Luke. Looking to Mara, look gave her an answer. "Because.", he said, rnning a hand threw Jace's hair, "If I went, Jason would go with me, and I don't want to endanger him.", Luke said. "It's bad enough Luke stand for Lucian, and Lucian can be traced to Lucifer.", Luke said, trying to get Jace to quiet.

"Well I'm sure she'll be fine," Mara grumbled crossing her arms. "But fine, I'll go follow her," she said, walking off. Rift could be seen with a small pack, heading past the kitchen door toward the doors to exit the mansion. She was on her way to go and find him.

"No, Mara, you dont' have to.", Luke pleaded. He was never one good with children, even if Jace was under his guard, Luke himself wasn't immortal like his birthname Azaraiah. "Jason, do you remember Mara?", Luke asked him. Jace merely nodded. "Look, Mara, if your going, then I'm going, which means Jason will come.", Luke said.

Mara paused at the door and turned around. "You can't make up your mind can you?" she asked with a laugh.

"No, I'm doing this for Jason.", Luke said. Jace seemed to glint up at him. "Yeah, c'mon little Jason, let's go.", Luke said, walking towards Mara with Jace on his heels.

"So wait...now we're going?" Mara asked, and began to follow them. "I'm so confused..."

'Yeah.", Luke said, smashing through the back door and setting off the alarm, Jace hot on his heels.

"Shit! You idiot!" Mara grumbled, running out the door after them.
